Description: 

A gender-obliterating funfest unleashed by the cantankerous cross-dressing Cockettes, the legendary Luminous Procuress brazenly recounts the mystical passage of two lissome hippie lads who enter a strange mansion, where a magic potion promises glimpses of a transformational realm. Led by the mystical “Procuress” (the ever-sculptural Pandora), the two naïfs are privy to a delirious vision of consciousness unbounded by gender or desire. Created in San Francisco’s Mission District by Arnold, an art outlier of prophetic leanings, Luminous Procuress—an exotic amalgam of outrageous wearable art, oneiric imagery, and erotically charged tableaux—gloriously drags on.
